spontaneous muscle gain on cut?

[jypoll]

so in 3 months i dropped from 222 to 194 and dropped a ton of fat, and some muscle.
for a while i was using lighter weight and focusing on form rather than load as directed by my trainer.
a couple weeks ago i increased my protein intake and started lifting heaving again and a week has gone by and no weight loss

stats:
194lbs
6'0"
21 yo
maybe 15% BF
judging by losing 28lbs in about half as many weeks at 2000-2200kcals i put my self at slightly over 3000kcals for TDEE

current diet

250 protein
150 carbs
50 fat

i went off keto a few weeks ago and have been on this diet since (actually was closer to 200g carbs but been lowering it) and have succesfully been losing 1.5lbs a week

now a week has passed and no change in weight, and its too soon to say im losing fat but i think so

have i suddenly resurrected by muscle by lifting heavy and actually gaining while on 800+kcal deficit without steroids?

Wait more than a week before you panic!! Sometimes you could go for 3 weeks without any changes and the following morning wake up 5 lbs lighter, if after 2-3 weeks you see no change than you could change macros around and stuff.

^^ bingo.

Remember that neither fat loss nor muscle gain are linear; some guys go months without seeing changes (this is true more so with muscle gain) and then suddenly see an explosion in growth, with little to no changes in diet or routine.
